– The flu pandemic is on its way! How do we distribute the vaccine: children and old people first, or let the free market decide? Then you’ll end up with just Grandmas and babies.

– How about the life-cycle principle, by Zeke and Al? 20-year olds are more valuable that 1-year olds.

– If you know any flu-workers, treat them really well, because you’re going to need a favor from them pretty soon…

– Phone call from Danny: Echo echo echo… He believes it’s all about marketing to young kids. Kind of like how Vitamin C and Zinc don’t really do much when you have a cold.

– Phone call from K: Echo echo echo.

– Phone cal from George: Can you hear me now? … No…

– Phone call from John: Don’t worry about the bird flu, it’s all been really overblown.

– Gmail from someone asking if they could send their bird flu-treated blood in for the prize of tickets and donuts.

– Betty on the phone: no, not going to happen…

– Morgellons Disease is nasty

– Lots of parents don’t want their kids to be immunized, because they don’t want them turning into living petri dishes.

– Some people believe that immunizations cause autism.

– Gmail from a microbiologist: Grandmas and babies need the vaccine because of their lowered immunie systems.

– Keep the government out of distributing the vaccine: if they screw it up, it’s major, whereas having smaller charity organizations means that a catastrophic failure will be much smaller.

– John Stossel and his blatant rip-off of Bulls Hit. Are teachers underpaid? Not according to John and Penn.

– Penn Jillette is insane!

– John on the phone (we can hear him, but he can’t hear us): There have been no inter-species cases yet. CDC is much less scary than they originally thought. “Can you hear me John? Can you hear me at all?”

*******

Wow, that was so very annoying with all the dropped and shitty calls. I really think they need to move the phone stuff to LV, so at least Penn can strangle the guy when things go wrong.
